my own stranger
What have I become
What have I turned to
As lam looking through the mirror
I'm struggling to recognize
The person looking at me
I'm exactly what I never wanted to be
I go to church every sunday
And sleep in different beds on weekdays
I have no degree nor diploma
But I have been in cars that are proper
I'm unemployed but I wait for month end with boiling eyes to receive from private jobs
That leave my legs shaking
And my inside burning.
I'm not proud
Idont even remember how or when
I ended up this way
I used to be grateful for the little I got
I appreciated what ever I had
But they came and promised me more
Promised the good life
No dull days but bright days
Money makes the world go round
Money makes the legs go wide
Money beautifiers the outlook
And dirtifies the inside.
Lust and ignorance made me this
Self control self discipline was up sent
Sober minded I did it
Different sizes I have seen them
I'm tired of repenting
Cause I keep on repeating
The same things
That leave me pleading
And bleeding
I'm suppose to be changing
And be good but I'm failing
I'm a stranger in my own eyes
So cold and solid like ice
Will I melt and move freely
Idont know who lam
My goals an vision have faded
My path has been darkened
By my own dark doings
What I do in the darkness will
Be seen in the light
:-(
